'detail': 'Network Device Id is not in UUID format id', 'errorCode':

Able to print table for the network devices with hostname type UUID etc. Now want to select a particular host from the table and print the config of that host. How do I get the "ID" parameter for API url automatically .

 ip = "https://devnetapi.cisco.com/sandbox/apic_em/api/v1/network-device/id/config"

 if I have to add ID manually then it does not make sense.. I'm not able to figure that out.

 Here is the code.

 import requests

from tabulate import tabulate

import json

import sys

requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()

url = "https://devnetapi.cisco.com/sandbox/apic_em/api/v1/ticket"

payload = {"username":"devnetuser","password":"Cisco123!"}

header = {"content-type":"application/json"}

output = requests.post(url,data=json.dumps(payload),headers=header,verify=False)

response_json = output.json()

ST = response_json['response']['serviceTicket']

print(ST)

headers = {"X-Auth-Token": ST}

ip = "https://devnetapi.cisco.com/sandbox/apic_em/api/v1/network-device"

response1 = requests.get(ip,headers=headers,verify=False)

network_Devices = response1.json()['response']

#print(json.dumps(network_Devices,indent=4))

devices_list = []

show_device_list = []

for i, item in enumerate(network_Devices):

    devices_list.append([item["hostname"],item["managementIpAddress"],item["type"],item["instanceUuid"]])

    show_device_list.append([i+1,item['hostname'],item['managementIpAddress'],item['type']])

#print (show_device_list)

print(tabulate(show_device_list,headers=['number','hostname','managementIpAddress','type','id'],tablefmt="rst"))

id = ""

id_idx = 3

while True:

    user_input = input('enter your selection')

    id = devices_list[int(user_input)-1][id_idx]

    break;

url = "https://devnetapi.cisco.com/sandbox/apic_em/api/v1/ticket"

payload = {"username":"devnetuser","password":"Cisco123!"}

header = {"content-type":"application/json"}

output = requests.post(url,data=json.dumps(payload),headers=header,verify=False)

response_json = output.json()

ST = response_json['response']['serviceTicket']

print(ST)

headers = {"X-Auth-Token": ST}

ip = "https://devnetapi.cisco.com/sandbox/apic_em/api/v1/network-device/id/config"

#ip = "https://devnetapi.cisco.com/sandbox/apic_em/api/v1/network-device/2dc30cac-072e-4d67-9720-cc302d02695a/config"

response_config = requests.get(ip,headers=headers,verify=False)

config = response_config.json()

print(config['response'])

Use

ip = "https://devnetapi.cisco.com/sandbox/apic_em/api/v1/network-device/"+id+"/config"

not

ip = "https://devnetapi.cisco.com/sandbox/apic_em/api/v1/network-device/id/config"

 "id" is a variable

id_idx = 3

while True:

    id = devices_list[int(user_input)][id_idx]

    break;

 user_input point to the record position so it should be

int(user_input)-1

id = device_list[int(user_input)-1][id_idx]

 id_idx point to the 4th position (0 based) in the record which is the UUID.
